Electronic Health Records For Dummies

This is a must read guide for those in the process of buying an EHR or anyone interested in learning more about electronic health records. It covers health information technology basics, how to select a vendor partner, ways to detemine the cost,benefits and return on your EHR investment, advice on how to successfully implement an EHR, and clearly outlines the facts about "meaningful use." There is also an appendix listing the names and web sites of the 62 national Regional Extension Centers, and a section on Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments. This book is an excellent reference for anyone in the health informatics field.

This is a good book for a doctor thinking about using electronic medical records in an office setting. Simple and easy to understand.

Good additional information for those of us who took a class and were disappointed with the text book we were stuck with using at the local joke-of-a-tech school.

Love the Dummies title, but don't find much of help for the more expert person in the field. Would have been nice to have more creative suggestions.

Very well developed book, that can truly educate/teach all levels from the patient to system support staff regarding overall definition and vision of EMR.

Excellent overview of EHRs. The authors have done a great job addressing how EHRs can used to improve the quality of care, financial performance and operational efficiencies of a healthcare organization. Tactical and easy to read. Leads the reader through an industry overview, vendor selection, contracting, implementation and optimization. Worth reading even for industry vets.

Ok

Very happy, learning more about my new chosen field

Nicely chunked and provides some useful extras such as the annotated list of top ten EHR websites.
